"Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains!" Is this your motto Risa?

Sounds like you may have had an all too typical American college education. It's a pity.

By now you may realize that members of this site think that free-market capitalism is the only econmic system a free people can freely choose by definition. It's called a "demand" economy--as its run by the people's demands...from the bottom up, not the top down.

All others are variations on "command" economics...which means a powerful government elite tells people what to do and owns much, most or all of the countries resources. Such is socialism, in one form or another.

There's a reason why the most prosperous and fastest growing economies on earth are capitalist. Show me a country rich in resources with a command economy--show me another with no resources with a demand economy--and I'll show you a poor vs. a rich country.

The Asian tigers come to mind, vs. African countries. It's very sad to see poor countries (often with lots of valuable resources) again and again turning to failed socialist command systems, when shining examples exist of countries with NO resources(with brutal histories of Western colonialism too)--and a commitment to a market economy--which are wildly successful.

God bless W. Bush for trying to push Iraq, kicking and screaming, into peace and prosperity. I hope and pray it works.

Before I answer, I'd like to know if you have ever studied economics? And What kind of education background do you have that makes you qualified to criticize the education of others?

You certainly don't know much about how the Asian economies acheieved their success--it wasn't by the libertarian market fundamentalism that the Bush administration wants to impose upon Iraq--that's for sure.
